Following the tradition of previous editions of the Optical Network Design and Modeling conference, ONDM 2017 will address cutting-edge research in established areas such as optical networking, optical systems, as well as emerging topics like novel Internet architectures, new optical network architectures for the Cloud/DataCenter, wireless optical networks, photonic integrated networks and SDN/NFV developments in optical networks.
The scope of the conference includes but is not limited to the following topics:
Advances in optical network theory and modeling
Routing and spectrum assignment and flex-grid optical networks
Optical networks for future Internet design
Optical network control and management
Energy efficiency in optical networks
Optical network availability, survivability, resilience
Novel architectures for optical routers and switches
Optical networks to support cloud computing
Software defined optical networking and network function virtualization (NFV)
Optical access network architectures and protocols
Techno-economic analysis of optical networks
High speed optical LANs including optical wireless networks
Field trials, new applications and experiments in optical networking
Convergence of optical and wireless networks
Optical access/metro technologies in support to 5th generation wireless systems
Security and privacy in optical networks
Inter- and intra- data center optical networks
Optical networks exploiting photonic integrated circuits
Interoperation between power (smart) grid and optical networks
Authors are encouraged to submit full papers (max. 6 pages in standard IEEE conference style) describing original, previously unpublished research results, not currently under review by another conference or journal, addressing forefront research and development in the area of optical network design and modeling.
